7. Neck lump
We’re not done talking about all those scary things cancer does to your body. Another thing you could experience if you’re diagnosed with this health condition is a neck lump. Experts say that this issue could be caused by many things, such as lymph nodes that are caused by viral or bacterial infections or cancer, so it’s always important to ask for professional help when you don’t feel your best.
One of the main reasons you could experience lumps in your neck muscles is an injury or torticollis, which is a health condition that causes your head to turn, tilt, and rotate to the side.
There are also other causes that could give you lumps in the front of your neck, like your thyroid gland, which is in the shape of a butterfly and it controls a vast variety of your body functions. The thyroid is not an easy health issue to deal with, but it’s easier than cancer, so if you notice any weird things in your body, your doctor should know about them.
Even though there are many things cancer does to your body, don’t be scared, because not all the lumps can indicate the presence of cancer in your body. But you should know that the risk of getting infected with this deadly disease increases with age, and people who drink and smoke on a regular basis are more likely to develop it.

Do not listen to a doctor that tell you “It’s old age” and find out too late that you have an advance cancer.
I was diagnosed with breast cancer. I haven’t been given any tests or an answer to help get rid of it. I have excessive sweating 9-10 times a day. I am not hot though. It’s trying and very exhausting.
Very informative. It really helped to examine yourself carefully and in the light of above symptoms, if someone observes any type of abnormality, just plan a visit to consult your doctor IMMEDIATELY.
Thanks for sharing this useful info
I went to doctors for a year and a half. They all told me different things but never said I have cancer. By the last time I went to urgent care they did a cat scan and discovered I had 5 centimeter lesions on my brain. Immediately admitted me and did brain surgery to remove lesions in the frontal left lobe of my brain. They couldn’t get to the lesions on the back of my brain so I had full brain radiation treatments. That got all lesions removed on the brain. The lesions removed from surgery were biopsies as adenocarciboma. They came from lung cancer that bo medical institution diagnosed.
This was 7 years ago. I have terrible neuropathy bone feet and hands. I still go every 3 weeks for infusions. My eyes, teeth and brain are destroyed. Wheelchair bound from treatment not from the cancer. I can walk about 50 feet before I need to sit. Breathless at times. Nauseous diarrhea constpation severe pain in my head that requires prescription medicine to ease it. Wheelchair bound when I do something over 50 ft. Walking.
To be honest I was a well respected director of operations over 3 billion dollars in revenue every year. Very intelligent model. Now I’m none of those things and will never be again.
Please Don’t Smoke. That is the cause of all of this
I am a survivor of Stage lV Oral-pharyngeal cancer. It was no “picnic”, to be sure! Pay attention to this article! I waited a long time before finally seeking treatment. It almost cost me my life. Today, ten years later, I’m cancer free. But that is no reason to wait and see! Get checked! Cancer CAN be cured, if you discover it early!
